These Streets

Hurt Me
You got a feeling and you say it rates about 9.9. Bearing pain’s a therapeutic way to get by by by. I got a feeling and I’m calling it crimson. I got a feeling that your prison is built on the wreckage of forsaken affection and it won’t hold still.

Everything about you says hurt me. Everything about me says hurt me too. I’m gonna grow so cold that nothing touches me. That doesn’t mean I aint touchin you.

I get protective yeah but that aint cool in your eyes eyes eyes. So you drown yourself & save a fool in your mind mind mind. I got a feeling and it needs a dissection. I’ve got a feeling that some blood will be spilled, crawling out of your crash intersection hand by hand.

Everything about you says hurt me. Everything about me says hurt me too. I’m gonna grow so cold that nothing touches me. That doesn’t mean I aint touchin you.

Everything about you says kill me. Everything about me says kill me too. I’m gonna grow so cold that nothing touches me. That doesn’t mean I aint touchin you.

Hurt me hurt me. You wanna test me? Hurt me hurt me. Come on test me. Hurt me hurt me. Well I will, well I will.

But I do. I do. I do. I’m suffocating and I’m dying slow, and the walls are closing and they’re all I know. These pictures of you are breaking up my mind.


Opposite Ends
How could you say that you wanted to dance to the end of the twilight? When all you really wanted to do Was hold a mirror to the sunlight. So lost and found, walking to the end of the world. We were so beautiful then.

Too many signs, too many lies. Opposite minds, opposite lives, opposite ends.

Strung up like a sacrifice, Waiting on the call from the convent. I’m feeling ash and I wanna go. But you’re carrying the key to my graveyard.

So lost and found, walking to the end of the world. We were so beautiful then.

Too many signs, too many lies. Opposite minds, opposite lives, opposite ends. Don’t be so blind, it’s passing by. Opposite minds, opposite lives, opposite ends.

I keep on telling you but I don't think that you want to know. Got to get out of here. Got to get out of here now.


A Loveless Life
I know it aint healthy. Somebody should help me. I used to be someone with a heart. I bought her flowers. Kissed her for hours. It took a new law to pry us apart. Everyone I know is saying they love you. Everyone but me.

Somehow, somehow, somehow you make me proud. But I can’t be with you, I got no place at a table for two. Some ways, some ways. Psychosomatic ways. I put myself on ice. But I can’t love from a loveless life.

I need an opinion. Not any opinion. It's got to be from someone I respect. I want you to know me. Does anyone know me? Been spending too much time in my head. Everyone I know is saying they love you. Everyone but me.

Somehow, somehow, somehow you make me proud. But I can’t be with you, I got no place at a table for two. Some ways, some ways. Psychosomatic ways. I put myself on ice. But I can’t love from a loveless life.


Dumb Dolls
We still walk through the glass, where we dropped our commitment. Didn’t learn from the past, so we forged our own wisdom. We, we know what we are.

We’re glamorous dolls. Sweetness drips from our lips, but when the heartache hits, no one applauds. Like glamorous dolls we show off our party tricks. We don’t talk politics, or talk at all.

We're dolls. Just dumb dolls. We’re dolls. Just dumb dolls.

See I told you it breaks if you drop it like china. Told myself I’d never make promises I could not honour. No, we’re still made of glass.

We’re glamorous dolls. Sweetness drips from our lips, but when the heartache hits, no one applauds. Like glamorous dolls we show off our party tricks. We don’t talk politics, or talk at all.

We're dolls. Just dumb dolls. We’re dolls. Just dumb dolls. We're dolls. Just dumb dolls. We’re dolls.

Oh yeah. We’re just dolls. Oh yeah. We’re just dumb dolls, dumb dolls.


We're Meant To Rock n Roll
It came and bit you. Well bite it some back. It’s out to hit you and wake you up Jack. You’re getting lazy - into routine. Do you still dream? It came and took you, took you by surprise. While you were sleeping it had open eyes. It’s a reminder, none of us here get out alive.

Today you’re bathing in your best friend’s wine. But can you manage a smile?

We’re meant to rock n roll each other, feel each other, love each other. We’re meant to rock n roll. We’re meant to see the soul of each other, touch each other and heal each other. We’re meant to see the soul.

What’s the distraction that’s choking your stride? It’s just a pebble, not a mountain side. You need to get some perspective now. Let’s talk about how.

Today it took ten years off your life line. Can you take some advice?

We’re meant to rock n roll each other, feel each other, love each other. We’re meant to rock n roll. We’re meant to see the soul of each other, touch each other and heal each other. We’re meant to see the soul.

And if you can feel its hands trying to choke, remember you’re not helpless, use your own.

We’re meant to rock n roll each other, feel each other, love each other. We’re meant to rock n roll. We’re meant to see the soul of each other, touch each other and heal each other. We’re meant to see the soul.

We’re meant to rock n roll each other, feel each other, love each other. We’re meant to rock n roll. We’re meant to see the stars together, bleed a little and heal a little. We’re meant to see the stars.

We’re meant to rock we’re meant to roll. We’re meant to feel, to feel the soul. We’re meant to live and live for long. We’re meant to shake to shake the soul. We’re meant to laugh not laugh alone. We’re meant to love and love some more.


My Addiction
You know fate, it's funny how it works. Its timing really sucks. It makes a face at me. Then there's her. She gives me what I need. Brings me to my knees. I think so much of her.

Reckless lives, that's not me. Drunken nights, that's not me. But it could be.

Yes she is, she's my addiction. And she could be my affliction.

Give me time, time to make things right. And all things in this plight, would lead me to her door. So don't go. I beg her please don't go. She's muse in every way. There's so much more to say.

She's electric, an electric charge. She sets off my, she sets off my, my heart. Blood is racing, oh it's racing hard. She's my drug of choice, my drug of choice.

Yes she is, she's my addiction. And she could be my affliction. And she feels like my redemption. My drug of choice. My drug of choice.

She's electric, an electric charge. She sets off my, she sets off my, my heart. Blood is racing, oh it's racing hard. She's my drug of choice, my drug of choice.


Wanna Be Lovers Again
Go see what your baby made. Go see what you look like now. Go see my opponent's virtue. Has mine run out? Go sit in the bed you made. Go sit with your new found friend. Sit on your broken promise. Sit on your hands.

The sooner we ease up the sooner it ends.

I'll throw these hands up. Tired of swinging. Don't wanna see you hurt anymore. I'll throw these gloves off. No one's winning. I give up the fight, I'm a lover, oh yeah I'm a lover again.

Go see to the points you made. Go see to your victories. See to your own reflection. Do you see it in me? Come out with the old one-two. Come out with a mean war cry. You better have damn good reason, or you’d better lie.

The sooner you ease up the sooner you win.

I'll throw these hands up. Tired of swinging. Don't wanna see you hurt anymore. I'll throw these gloves off. No one's winning. I give up the fight I'm a lover, wanna be lovers again?

We lost sight of the plans we made, plans we made.


Best Of The Years
You used to dress me, smile and caress me for a while. You wouldn’t let me, you wouldn’t let me get out of line.

My dear lady must have got things right. She got things right. My good woman sure does get things right. She gets things right.

Karma gave you the best of, best of, best of the years. Karma gave me the best of, best of, best of the tears. Karma gave you the best part, best part, best part of me. Karma got you to shout karma got me to hear.

I disappoint you. But I’ll be a good boy for you now. I never meant to, I didn’t mean to run about.

My dear lady sure did get things right. She got things right. My good woman sure does put things right. She put things right.


Radio Faces
When I close my eyes I can see behind your skin. I’m loving what’s there within. You’re a woman, you’re not a doll. Your body’s all worn and the song is all torn inside and you can’t decide if you wanna love.

Tired of all the see-through. Fall in love with the radio faces.

The sentiment is gone. Buddha’s high strung tonight so set your watch behind. Get the gang around. If you’re unsung and the airwaves won’t ignite all the songs you like, you’re not alone.

Tired of all the see-through. Fall in love with the radio faces.

Hung so dry like a cigarette from her mouth. The flame goes out - invisible. Waiting on the curb for the cold call of the street. It’s her last dance you see. She had enough.

Tired of all the see-through. Fall in love with the radio faces.
